(Pt 6 of 8) Experiments by Italian Scientists Video url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3N3dWlIPUQ Transcribed by: Steven B. Krivit 04:52 This is a one megawatt module in a shipping container, ready to be shipped to the United States. 05:36 The thing to know about Rossi and everything I say from now on is-I haven't verified any of this – Rossi is a dodgy character he's had trouble with the law, people believe that this could be a scam. I'll preface my remarks with that. However having said that People that I know and trust, have stood in front of Rossi's reactor and come away convinced that it really is doing more or less what Rossi claims. This includes my ex program manager at DARPA [Bob Nowak], a very, very intelligent man a good friend of mine. Ampenergo ran two tests on September 25, 2009 in New Hampshire it was witnessed by good friend of mine, also a very smart guy. 06:37 [Discusses data; power in, power out, and gain] 06:58 If you could do that, really, and sustain it and turn it on and off at will, you could sell a water heater where your water in your home was heated at 1/10 of the electrical cost. So this is starting to sound like technology. 07:18 In Bologna, January 14, 2011, 45 minutes generating steam, so he's certainly not limited to the boiling point of water. Average power in one kilowatt, average power out 12 kilowatts, gained 12.7. This test was criticized fairly and unfairly as is usually the case. Generating steam, there's a lot of energy transitioning from boiling water to steam. That amount of energy is very significant compared to raise the temperature of water to the boiling point. The big question is how much of the liquid-phase had been turned to steam and how much water was coming out in the form of droplets and whatever. "How dry was the steam?" was the question. But the calculations I did, assuming the numbers given to me are given honestly, it doesn't matter how dry the steam was, there is still excess energy and we are quibbling whether it's a gain of 12 or a gain of four
- r five. Both are kind of interesting.
